Course Sequence
Elementary EducationSuggested Course Sequence
Suggested course sequences are designed to give students guidance for completing programs of study in the minimum length of time. Your path may not look exactly like the suggested course sequence if any of the following circumstances apply to you:
- You are a transfer student and some of the courses you transfer meet the requirements for your program of study (certificate, diploma or degree).
- All new students are required to have an ACT score or take a placement test. Based on your scores, you may be required to complete ASC Math, Reading and Writing courses the first and second semesters. This will affect the sequence of the courses you take and may result in a longer length of time for you to complete your program of study.
- The course sequence does not apply if a student fails or withdraws from a course. If this occurs, the student will have to re-take the course, which may result in a longer length of time to complete.
Track your certificate or degree requirements in my.uttc.edu by logging into the system. Then go to the Student Information tab, under Advising, and find your Degree Audit. The Degree Audit form tracks your progress.
The course sequence is designed as a guide for students planning their course selection and is only a suggested schedule. Actual course selections should be made with the advice and consent of the academic advisor. Students should refer to the information contained in the current Academic Catalog for the year they are admitted to UTTC.
